The Metaphor Observatory

Welcome to the Metaphor Observatory, a
site that examines contemporary metaphor in the media, written for those who
love language. We're in the process of rebuilding our site, so please be patient
and ignore the temporarily unformatted form of our pages. In the meantime, enjoy
these many articles we've published over the years and keep checking in to see
our progress.

Please bear in mind that there are aspects of personal
opinion to these observations, and that the Observatory is meant to call
attention to the subtleties of metaphor use and impact. The material is mature
in nature, though accessible to all. Copyright John D. Casnig
